The ongoing marital saga surrounding music icon Innocent '2Baba' Idibia has taken another turn, with public attention shifting to his estranged wife, actress Annie Macaulay-Idibia. A social media user's bold opinion about Annie's potential actions has ignited a fiery debate across Nigerian online platforms.
Controversial Claim Sparks Online Firestorm
The controversy began when an X user, identified as lollypeezle, shared a provocative take. Reacting to pictures of Annie Idibia shared online, the user stated, "This lady will take 2Face back in a jiffy if the opportunity arises." This assertion, made against the backdrop of 2Baba's recent publicized issues with his new wife, Natasha Osawaru, quickly went viral, drawing hundreds of reactions from netizens with divided opinions.
This online discourse comes shortly after Annie herself broke her silence. On December 2, 2025, the Nollywood star sparked conversations by sharing a series of reflective and cryptic messages on her Instagram Story, though she did not directly address the ongoing drama.
Netizens React: Support, Criticism, and Cynicism
The reaction to the claim that Annie would reconcile with 2Baba was swift and varied. Legit.ng compiled a range of responses that highlight the public's fascination with the celebrity couple's long and tumultuous relationship.
Some users agreed with the original poster's sentiment. User Tomi_Tomero commented, "Was telling my friend this today she will come back and do thanksgiving in fact." Another, Addtcreations, added, "I swear she will and the union will now last forever. They've both seen how outside is." This perspective suggests a belief that past experiences might lead to a stronger reunion.
Others expressed sympathy for Annie, framed within the context of deep, enduring love. HRH_Deinre noted, "Because unfortunately for her, she loved him deeply. He has her mumu button and it can be very difficult to take it back when someone has it." User Eniolaolq echoed this, stating, "She no go waste time sef, person wey endure all his past isekuse, she's his amutorun wa."
However, a significant portion of reactions urged Annie to move forward, not backward. User Rukkie339 advised, "I would rather not support her going back. She has moved on, and her direction should be forward, not backward. A dog does not return to its vomit." User traceyabee pointedly referenced Annie's recent return to her maiden name, Macaulay, as a sign of moving on.
Background of the Ongoing Marital Drama
The current wave of discussions is rooted in events from earlier in the year. 2Baba shook the internet when he publicly announced his separation from Annie Idibia via a video statement. More recently, the singer found himself in the headlines again after social media commentator Tosin Silverdam shared a video alleging to show the moment 2Baba was arrested by police in the United Kingdom, reportedly amid drama involving his new wife, Natasha.
Despite the controversy, 2Baba and Natasha have been seen together publicly. They were recently guests at a party hosted by actress Yvonne Jegede in Lagos, celebrating her 20-year milestone in Nollywood, further fueling public commentary on their relationship.
As the court of public opinion remains in session, the focus on Annie Idibia's personal choices underscores the enduring public interest in one of Nigeria's most famous former couples. Whether the online speculation holds any truth remains to be seen, but the debate itself confirms their story continues to captivate the nation.
